Ravens QB Flacco turns boos into cheers with big fourth

by Marty Gitlin | CBSSports.com

(12/28/14) Boos rained down upon Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco for three quarters Sunday against Cleveland, but he turned them into cheers in an explosive fourth in leading his team to a victory and playoff berth.

Flacco missed on his first three attempts of the game and things didn't get much better. His team trailed 10-3 after three as he was just 14 of 27 for 151 yards to that point. But he sizzled thereafter, completing 8 of 9 for 161 yards and two scores in the fourth. He hit Torrey Smith against strong coverage on a perfectly thrown 53-yarder to set up a 16-yard touchdown to the same receiver. He then found Kamar Aiken for a 2-yard score to clinch the win.

He finishes the regular season with career-highs in touchdowns (26) and yards passing (3,986).

Joe Flacco falters down the stretch

by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com

(12/21/14) Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco put together arguably his worst performance of the season together at the worst possible time for Fantasy owners, as he faltered in a Week 16 loss to the Texans.

Flacco, who had more touchdowns than interceptions in each of his previous six games, was a disaster Sunday, as he was intercepted three times before tossing a pair of second-half touchdowns. He completed just 21 of 50 passes for 195 yards, for his worst completion percentage since 2011.

Flacco had consecutive 20-Fantasy-point games as recently as Week 13 and 14, but has stumbled down the stretch, combining for 27 in Weeks 15 and 16. He has certainly improved on his dismal 2013 showing, already matching a career-high in touchdown passes, but Flacco showed once again this season to be an unreliable Fantasy quarterback, posting just four 20-plus Fantasy point games in 15 tries.

Ravens' Joe Flacco finds the end zone once Week 15

Flacco completed 20 of 30 passes for 221 yards and a score. He was fairly efficient throughout the game, as he averaged 7.4 yards per completion. Flacco wasn't bothered much by the Jacksonville defense. He was not scaked during the contest. Flacco did have four rushing attempts, gaining 8 yards.

He'll look for more Week 16 against the Texans.

(11/30/14) Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco fired a pair of touchdown passes but it wasn't enough at home against the Chargers in Week 13.

Flacco fired a 16-yard touchdown pass to Torrey Smith on the opening drive of the game. He found Smith again for a 10-yard strike in the third quarter for his second score of the game.

Flacco compiled 225 yards through the air while completing 19 of 31 pass attempts. He added two touchdowns and no interception, registering a 104.9 passer rating. He has been held under 250 passing yards in his last three games.

Flacco will look to bounce back Week 14 at Miami.

(11/24/14) Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco completed a season-high 75 percent of his throws in Monday's 34-27 win at New Orleans. Flacco hit 18 of 24 throws for 243 yards and a touchdown with no interceptions, and he added a 3-yard rush.

In the first quarter, Flacco looked for wideout Steve Smith and he made a ridiculous 15-yard touchdown catch in tight coverage. Flacco didn't need to throw too much as the Ravens ran wild, gaining 7.0 yards per carry.

Flacco has just four touchdown passes over his last four games entering Week 13 against the Chargers.
